Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If you pay a constant percentage of your taxable income in taxes, the tax is proportional. This means that the amount of tax paid increases proportionally with an increase in taxable income. It is neither regressive (where low-income individuals pay a higher proportion of their income in tax) nor progressive (where high-income individuals pay a higher proportion of their income in tax). D is not a valid option as taxes are not random.
